There are photos that are just photos, and then there are photos that open a whole chapter of life again. This one belongs to the second category. I don’t really have to explain where I took it. The Sydney Opera House in the background tells the story immediately. But for me, this picture means more …
Cockroaches are a disgusting topic, but unfortunately they are also a very present topic in many households. Especially in tropical areas, but not only there. They are everywhere: persistent and with absolutely no respect for personal boundaries. Some people see a cockroach in the house and stay calm. They say, “Oh, a cockroach,” as if …
At first glance, this photo looks like a pretty normal shot that I took during a flight: clouds, blue sky, a wing, and somewhere far below, the islands of the Philippines. But what you cannot see in this photo is me behind the camera. You cannot see the required face shield. You cannot see the …

After our posts from last year about Angkor, especially the impressive approach through the South Gate of Angkor Thom, it feels only right to continue the story with one of the most unforgettable temples in Cambodia: Bayon Temple. And honestly, Bayon is one of those places that needs little introduction once you stand in front …
This stunning Rainbow Lorikeet posed for me at Bradleys Head Walking Track in Sydney; it was completely unshy and seemed eager to show off different poses. The vibrant feather colors of the Rainbow Lorikeet, ranging from deep green wings to striking blue and orange underparts, create a breathtaking sight against the backdrop of Sydney’s beautiful …
A snap I took in Ninh Binh, Vietnam, which I kinda wish I hadn’t. Read more.
One of our favorite spots in Mindanao is just a quick road trip away—no need for airline tickets! for us.
Not so long ago, many of us believed the world had become smaller. Air travel became more accessible, low-cost airlines opened routes that once seemed impossible, and even ordinary people could dream of seeing places beyond their own borders.
